*It was hard to see the audience with a light in her face, but from the sound of it she wasn't bad. At least nobody booed her. Another girl gently bumped her out of the way to introduce herself, and the show continued on...
Later, Kim stood near one side of the Klub--not back in the shadows, but not in full view, either. Despite her protests, she found herself waiting. A man had "bought" her, and she was for his friend.*
"It won't be me..." she murmured.

"No, John, come on, let's just go..." *Chris protested as John pushed him in her direction.*
"Chris, Kim. Kim, Chris. You two kids have fun." *John said, shoving Chris down at a seat near her and disappearing off into the crowd.*
*Chris sat there awkwardly.*
"I'm... er... Chris."

*She sat next to him, some of her bravery taking a vacation. The whole situation made her nervous, and him being so exotically handsome didn't help, either.*
"Hello...Chris. I'm Kim." She said hesitantly.

"Kim." *He repeated softly. She was even more beautiful up-close, and her eyes were such a perfect shade of deep brown, though he still didn't get her attire.*

"Umm..."
Pretty blue eyes.
*She suddenly coughed and stared at her hands*
"Do you...like things?"

*He chuckled a little.*
"Things? What kind of things? Or is that a general question?" *He teased.*

*She gave a little laugh, glancing back up at him*
"Well, um..."
*She quickly searched her mind for something safe to say*
"This town?"

*He shrugged, a little more serious.*
"I suppose. You get used to living in unfamiliar places when you're in my profession."

*It wasn't quite what she expected, but it sounded interesting.*
"What sort of profession? It must be exciting if you travel a lot."

*He chuckled, somewhat darkly.*
"I'm in the army. I've fought all over Asia and now I'm stationed in Europe until I finally go home for the first time in two years."

"Oh." Her expression had gone serious, too.
"I traveled because of fighting. To...escape it."
*Uh-oh...had she said too much?*
"But, it is good you get to go home!"

*He looked at her, his eyes a little lost.*
"Where did you run from?"

*He said he'd travelled through Asia. But...that was too much of a coincidence. Right?*
"Vietnam."
Her voice had gotten small.

"I was stationed there for six months. Up until the fall of Saigon." *He said softly.*

*She stiffened, unwanted memories crowding in before she pushed them back*
"M...me, too. I mean...not stationed. I mean..."
*Her voice wobbled*
